At the end of the day, the Cubs were swept by the Reds at Wrigley Field as they lost 11-4 today.
So today’s question is which seats are better – section 38 or 123? I went to the game with my cousin Andrew Holder. His mom and grandmother were with us so we needed to buy two more tickets for the game. We spent $35 for tickets that were $100.80 face value – one ticket was in Section 38 Row 6, the other Section 123 Row …

The Reds won their second game at Wrigley Field to move 15 games over .500. Drew Stubbs broke out of his 1-for-37 slump by going 3-for-4 hitting the go-ahead home run in the eighth inning which led the Reds to a 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs are now 3-9 versus the Reds this year.

The Cincinnati Reds moved to 14 games over .500 for the first time since 1990 with their 3-0 win over the Cubs today. The Reds have had nine straight losing seasons.

That is what Brandon Philips did Wednesday afternoon as he hit an 8th inning grand slam 450 feet. That grand slam put the game out of reach as …

Last year, on July 7, I watched Paul Konerko hit three home runs in the same game and realized that he was the first player I saw achieve the feat in six years. Now, this season, I have witnessed two players hit three home runs in one game. First, was Albert Pujols on May 30th. Today, assisted by a 20-mph wind blowing out of the ballpark, Drew Stubbs hit three home runs as the Reds hit seven home runs total (and four in the seventh inning) crushing the Cubs 14-3. …

It was a typical Saturday afternoon – attend the Cubs game with the family. The Ultimate Sports Wife and I walked over to Wrigley Field with the Ultimate Sports Baby as Dylan attended his eighth Cubs game today at the young age of eight weeks old (averaging one game per week of life is not bad).

Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs
The Cubs managed to win a game as Randy Wells took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. The Cubs matched a franchise record leaving 17 runners on base.
